Scabal Soho Glenn Plaid Sport Jacket in Black/Brown

A cashmere and wool blend is what separates this jacket from the rest of the Soho lineup: a softer hand and richer drape than the fully wool styles, wrapped around a black and brown glenn plaid that dresses up a classic country pattern rather than leaving it purely casual.

For a man who already owns a navy blazer, this is the natural second jacket, one with enough texture and pattern to stand on its own over gray flannel trousers or dark denim, without needing a tie to look finished. It's a genuine step up in fabric from a typical odd jacket, built from Scabal's own mill-grade cloth rather than an outsourced textile milled to a price point.

Treat it well and it earns its place for years: brush it after each wearing, rest it a day between wears, and send it to the cleaners only when it truly needs it. That's less upkeep than most people assume a cashmere blend requires, and it's exactly the kind of jacket that rewards it.
